Ebook sales were up in Q2, and I added a new “product” to the lineup. More on that in a minute.

Grand Total = $7,905 (up 36% from Q1)

So this blog generated $7,905 revenue in Q2, a 36% increase over Q1. This comes out to $2,635 per month.

We've got a long way to go, but I'm happy with the growth, which was due primarily to my latest offering – a three week live training program.

Held using GoToWebinar, this class took a deep dive into fit, color and other aspects of style for shorter gents. But the real magic was the personal interaction, both with me and fellow students.

I'm talking about live outfit critiques, real time Q&A, homework assignments…it was truly an awesome experience for everyone involved.

If you missed it, don't worry. It will be offered again very soon. And, eventually, all of the recorded sessions will be published on a premium membership site so anyone can learn the material on their own time.

Stay tuned!

What about expenses?

Believe it or not, bloggers have expenses too. I don't have an office, but I do have a handful of tools I can't live without. Stuff like:

The monthly and annual fees for these apps and services add up quickly, and I realize that not including these expenses in this report is misleading.

Until recently, it was hard for me to track this stuff. But I recently started using this slick new accounting software, so you can expect to see income and expenses in the next income report.

Until next time, keep hustling!

Digging these types of posts Brock! I forgot to ask this on your grooming part 2 article but I was wondering why you didn’t mention electric shavers like the Philips Norelco stuff? What’s your opinion on them?

Thanks! I actually don’t have much experience with electric shavers, but I’m experimenting with safety razors, brushes and different shaving techniques in general. So expect a post on that sometime soon.
